CURRENT MISSION

I'm hoping to get outside myself to gain exposure, experience, confidence, and knowledge from other cultures and to see Europe on a recent college graduate's budget!

ABOUT ME

Hello there! My name is Lindsey- I'm proud to be a nature loving Minnesotan! I just graduated from the University of Minnesota where I studied sociology and sustainability . I wasn't able to study abroad in college so I'm taking the chance to travel now!

PHILOSOPHY

I have several favorite quotes from song lyrics: "There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you were meant to be" , "it's one life// and it's this life// and it's beautiful", "if you're loved by someone you're never rejected// decide what to be, and go be it", and "if you never try, you'll never know"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year on National Student Exchange in Ashland Oregon never having been to Oregon and not knowing a soul. I had the time of my life- I climbed mountains, went to a hot springs and the Sasquatch music festival, did a volunteer trip to an animal rehab center, and spent time with incredible people who helped me discover my true self.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love discussing and teaching about recycling and re-use. Both practices are vital in order to conserve and promote respect for our earth and its resources and to promote creativity!
